You can only judge a movie by what is shown in it, and not what was omitted. Selina was shown running about the rooftops shortly after being shot four times. Whether you took those gun shots to arms, legs, chest....where ever, you're not going to be in any condition to be climbing rooftops. Either she's supernatural or she's got Wolverine's healing ability

Or it's a movie...a rather heightened Tim Burton movie, where she was shown surviving several traumatic incidents, and had one "life" left, and for poetic license, they had her survive.

It's not realistic. Because it's an unrealistic movie. I don't recall seeing her run and climb about in the end. I recall seeing her raise her head...she wasn't shot in the neck.

You see her shadow on the alley wall running along the side of a building. That's what prompts Bruce to stop the car. Then at the end the camera pans high up into the sky where the batsignal lights, and Catwoman then appears looking at it.

How did she get that high up on that building unless she climbed up. The movie wasn't being subtle here. She was alive and prowling around Gotham's rooftops as Catwoman as per usual.

If Batman Returns were a more literal film than it is, the tag of Catwoman apparently having survived would probably be a problem. But a moment of expressionistm or poetic license - as others have very aptly referred to it - is perfect in that movie. And if it's straight-up "she's alive," I'm good with that too.

It's not a problem that she did survive. Some just seem galled at the notion that she could have supernatural abilities where she survived four gun shots and she was ok afterward.

It's not even a matter of her surviving. If she had taken the shots to non fatal parts of her body like her arms or legs she would still be unable to be running around prowling rooftops in her Catwoman costume.

I don't get this expressionism point. Selina vanished in the electrical inferno in Penguin's lair. Batman never found her body. Just Schreck's. The movie showed at the end that not only did she survive, but she was out on the prowl as Catwoman again.
